Should LeBron apologize to Indians' fans? Fri, October 5, 2007
CLEVELAND - The most famous athlete in Cleveland is rooting for the New York Yankees. LeBron James always has.
He showed up at Jacobs Field for Game 1 on Thursday night sporting a Yankees cap - and fans sitting near him chanted for him to take it off. "I've always been a Yankee fan. I'm a big Derek Jeter fan," James said during an in-game TV interview after Cleveland took the lead. "I'm here to represent the Yankees, but right now it's not looking too good."
I care only enough to make this comment. Report real news, not stupid news.

Sebastian, Cleveland is and was a laughingstock for many reasons long before LeBron James wore a Yankees ball cap. You are such an arrogant lot.

No not in a million years. Just because he plays in Cleveland that automatically means he has to support the Indians ?
That would be the dumbest reasoning ever.
He should go to a Browns game and wear a Steelers or Bengals hat just to piss them off for such a stupid reaction.

Hell no, Lebron doesn't need to apologize for cheering on his team! If anything, I think the city of Cleveland and the media there should be apologizing to him for all this insanity!

now its politically incorrect to root for a sports team? What are you going to slam next, a persons brand of underwear? Lets all take a deep breathe and relax this is beyond stupidity.

I think it is extremly sad this is the only thing u can find to harp on the guy about but how many other things to applaud him on. u say u pay his salary. how about he fills ur stands, not only that he made the choice to stay in cleveland then is the main reason u almost won the title, i think that is what pays his salary. make no mistake he cld go to any other team make more money but he made that decision. how about u just keep bs about petty stuff and he can find a new team to fill those stand for sell those jersey and memorbilia for. We do have this lil thing called freedom of speach

I dont believe LeBron was born in Cleveland he was drafted to play basketball there. He can and should be able to cheer for whatever team he likes.

Oh Georgie!!!..I think you're barking at the wrong tree here.

He should apologize for a lack of judgement! A Yankee fan!?! The Yankees suck! Let's go Red Sox!

I thought sports was for fun and entertainment. Apologize for what! Now if he would turnout a Raptors fan there could be problems if he cheered for them. My mother was a Cleveland fan (Bob Feller days) and Dad and I were Yogie fans so whats your problem Cleveland fans. .
